2 years well spent: this unit of criminals are on this job to steal this diamond which is worth $17 million, everything was going according to plan until one of them Deacon [Peter Greene] decides to stab his unit in the back and try and steal it from them, consequently Miles Logan [Martin Lawrence] gets apprehended and sent to prison for two years, but not before stashing the diamond somewhere safe or so he thinks. Two years later he comes out to find out that this diamond is in one of these air ducts in this police station, so Logan goes undercover as Detective Malone/other characters to find it.

The pacing of this 93 minute film is like the rest of this film is one of those reliable outlays which it knows what it is doing and unlike Deacon it sticks to plan.

Comedy, Action, Character developments and performances; firstly this film needs Lawrence to pull this film off, but he does have assistance from  Tulley [Dave Chappelle] that was a member of his unit and knows precisely who he is; from Tulley sticking up/robbing this convenient shop to later on this interrogation sequence of events; they work excellently together on-screen. Detective Carlson [Luke Wilson] having this reliably good dynamic of basically and if you have been around long enough you know full well that I am just saying it as it probably is [from your perspective when I say probably] so there is nothing racial here even though it is racial; they have this Caucasian and African-American dynamic where one is clean cut in every way possible and the other being African-American and streetsmart.

As I have already indicated that character developments are likewise reliable versions of what they are meant to be and the performances from the cast are generally speaking good.

This film receives: 4/10, this film is mixed; this is one of those comedies that were and is from the very late 1990s and there isn't anything wrong with that but as of this content it isn't the late 1990s anymore and yes I have highlighted some of the positives of this film, I should include when this remote control miniature monster truck gets to use in the air ducts to locate this diamond it has been fitted with a camera; this is good as well. But in a general sense and taking everything into consideration this mark is a fair outcome
